Filter forum posts into twitterfeed

&acirc;?&cent; [url removed, login to view], a forum-based website where students discuss anything and everything from education to lifestyle, relationships, sports, current affairs etc.

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT:

&acirc;?&cent; To enable companies and clients to see what is being said about them on the website, by having relevant posts from the site come through as tweets e.g. the marketing team at Exeter University can see all the mentions of Exeter on The Student Room

EXECUTION OF PROJECT:

&acirc;?&cent; In order to do this, we could create an RSS feed, aggregating all the RSS feeds from the forums we have onsite, then filter the post content for a keyword e.g. Exeter. From there, we could feed these filtered results into twitterfeed, so that each post referencing Exeter on The Student Room sends through a separate tweet

&acirc;?&cent; I&acirc;??ve tried to set this project up myself, but have become stuck at a few hurdles

o This is the RSS I&acirc;??m using, although it appears to be running with a cache - [url removed, login to view];lastpost=1&amp;count=150&amp;

o To filter the results, I first tried using yahoo pipes and then feed rinse, but only a few results were coming through. Possibly because of the quantity of data we need to pass through it? Both programs seemed to work fine on a small scale, so it&acirc;??s whether a different programme would be more suitable for the quantity of info we&acirc;??re dealing with

o Another possible problem with the filtering is that these programmes filter by categories e.g. &lt;post title&gt;, &lt;post author&gt; etc., but the content we want to be picked up is under the heading &lt;content:encoded&gt; on our RSS feed

TASKS FOR DEVELOPER:

&acirc;?&cent; Find the best way to aggregate the site&acirc;??s RSS feeds into one master feed

&acirc;?&cent; Find how to filter all the relevant information from that RSS containing a key word, then feed those results into twitterfeed
